Philanthropic visions
The Cailloux Foundation was established in 1994 by Floyd and Kathleen Cailloux to perpetuate their philanthropic vision.
Floyd was Chairman of the Executive Committee at Keystone International for 30 years after acquiring a controlling interest in Keystone Valve Corporation in 1968. Keystone International was sold after Floyd’s death in 1997. Keystone and its former valve divisions are now owned by Emerson Electric (EMR).
Floyd and Kathleen have donated to many charities in their lifetime. In Kerrville, Kathleen gave funds to build a new humane society facility, a new business school and activity center at Schreiner University, and to remodel the Kerrville Municipal Auditorium, which is now called The Cailloux Theater. She helped fund the new Gladney Center for Adoption building in Fort Worth and the Genetic Cancer Research Center at M.D. Anderson in Houston. In 2007, Kathleen died at the age of 92 in Kerrville.
The Cailloux Foundation is not associated with The Kathleen C. Cailloux Family Foundation.
